I planted the bulb in October 2007 and almost 6 months later I have these delicate flowers about ready to burst open in mid April. This variety is called Triumph Tulip, I placed about 8 bulbs in a 10 inch plastic container. I watered it a little bit when the soil was dry but not too much. Here in rainy Washington, we don't water much in the Winter, it rains just about everyday.

I can't remember what color they are supposed to be but I'll be sure to take a picture as soon as it opens.
